Killed the TurtleIs.land Bluesky PDS today. No diss on #Bluesky. A PDS is great if you must have data sovereignty but that's about it. You still have Bluesky moderation lording over you, which can be pathetic for non-dominant cultures. To add the other necessary pieces for true near independence is a MUCH larger project than a part time Linux admin can take on.
Ultimately, #Mastodon is much more of an of, by and for the people social media...
